June 9 post. At the same event I also met, very briefly, Dr. Krishnan Gurumurthy, who told me that he had read The Glass Palace and that he was himself a survivor of the exodus from Burma that figures in the book. I have often urged people to record the memories of those who lived through that epic trek over the mountains of the India Burma border. The last survivors are now in their seventies and eighties and their memories constitute an invaluable living archive. Very few published accounts of the march exist and most were written by Europeans Asian accounts are exceedingly rare this is one of the reasons why the historian Hugh Tinker described it as The Forgotten Long March1. First a few elements of the background In 1.

As a result of these developments, there was an increasing nervousness within the Indian population in Burma. Japan entered the 2nd World War with simultaneous attacks on Pearl Harbour and northern Malaya. On December 2. 3 came the first Japanese air attacks on Rangoon. This attack created absolute panic in the city. It is important to remember perhaps that generally speaking, very few civilians had expected the war to spread to Asia. The survivors I spoke to were almost unanimous on this. The attitude is hard to account for because in military circles, Indian as well as British, it was well known that the Japanese were preparing for war. Similarly, the British municipal authorities had made preparations for air raids trenches had been dug, an Air Raid Precautions authority was set up in Rangoon and other cities, on the model of similar bodies in London. Yet, psychologically, the civilian population of the British territories in Asia appear to have been completely unprepared for the coming war Dr. Gurumurthys father was by no means unusual in this. The first Japanese air raid on Rangoon, was on December 2. The air raid of Dec 2. Dec 2. 5. The air raids created chaos in the city. There was a general breakdown of law and order and the Indians, already wary after the riots of the past decade, began to panic. The perception was that the British were about to withdraw from Burma, and that in their absence, Burmese mobs would have free reign to terrorise the Indian population. Suddenly, the Indians began to move northwards. But without the Indians the city simply could not function they made up almost the entire working class of Rangoon. The dockworkers were the first to abandon their jobs. This meant that essential supplies could not be unloaded from the ships in the Rangoon docks. Many of these vessels became sitting targets for Japanese bombers. In January it became clear that the Japanese were advancing rapidly and that the British forces would not be able to hold them. Leslie Glass, a British civil servant, was present in the city this is how he describes the atmosphere Every Japanese air raid increased the steady stream northwards of the city population, and more and more institutions ground to a standstill. One afternoon, I joined in a bizarre and melancholy foray to shoot all dangerous animals in the zoo, as all their keepers had decamped. Tigers, panthers and poisonous snakes were killed and the deer released in the park, except for one which we shot for fresh meat. When we had gutted the poor beast, we threw its entrails into the lake and great fish thrashed and swirled in the course of their unusual meal. At this point the British began preparations for evacuating their government the civilians were left largely to fend for themselves. Introduction.

The following is respectfully quoted from A Spacious Path to Freedom by Karma Chagmed with commentary by Gyaltrul Rinpoche. The Twenty Precepts states. The Indians began to stream out of Rangoon and central Burma, and soon vast crowds clogged the principal roads. As to why so many Indians took the decision to leave Burma, at such great personal cost this remains something of a mystery to this day. Some of them certainly saw themselves not as a group separate from the British but also as colonists, extensions of their masters house. Some evidently believed that they would be a hostage population in the hands of the Japanese others thought that the Burmese would turn upon them once the protective hand of the British had been removed. But these apprehensions were unfounded in fact well over half the Indian population chose to remain in Burma. They were not singled out after the British withdrawal and were spared the suffering of the exodus. Whatever the reasons, a great number of Indians decided that the difficulties of the road were preferable to the uncertainties of remaining where they were and the march quickly developed an unstoppable momentum. In the initial stages, the exodus moved in two directions. One took the easterly route, over the Arakan Hills into Chittagong. This was a relatively short route, though also very dangerous. It is estimated that one to two hundred thousand Indians crossed to India over this route. The other route was the northerly route, essentially following the course of the Irrawaddy and then the Chindwin river. This route was several hundred miles long depending on the starting point. The final crossover into India lay through uncharted terrain over the mountains that separate Manipur from Burma. All the while, a certain number of planes and boats stayed in operation, but they were used mainly for the evacuation of European personnel. There are innumerable stories of how these fleeing officials sometimes used their transportation privileges to carry away pianos and dinner sets, while their subordinates had to make their way on foot, abandoning everything. In the early phases of the air evacuation, according to Hugh Tinker, Europeans and Eurasians were in the overwhelming majority. Then, after protest by Indian leaders, the proportions were reviewed. But on May 9 the air route was shut down all together and now only the mountain route remained. This was the route taken by Dr. Gurumurthys family. Film American Pie 3 Sub Indo.
